10. Hey, but at least if that happens...
I'll get a satellite or spaceship or high school or some award for nerds named for me hundreds of years after my brutal murder for just telling the truth.

11. A joke
Told by my math professors when I was in college.

The difference between Mathematicians, Physicists, and Engineers.

Ask a Mathematician what is Pi, and he'll answer:
"Pi is the ration of a circle's circumference to its diameter."
Ask a Physicist what is Pi, and he'll answer:
"Pi to 7 decimal points is 3.1415926."
Ask an engineer what is Pi, and he'll answer.
"S'Bout 3."

The other "joke."
The problem with the university is that sociologists think they're psychologists; psychologists think they're biologists; biologists think they're chemists; chemists think they're physicists; physicists think they're mathematicians, and mathematicians think they're gods, and no one realizes that only the mathematicians are right.

12. Another joke:
A veterinarian and a taxidermist go into business together. Their slogan: "Either way, you get your pet back."

This has nothing to do with Pi or mathematics. Bwhahahahaha!

14. "This means something!"
(really, really, really obscure HBO 80s reference - short film - parody of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind")

"Excuse me. I used to be a scientist before I became a bad actor . . ."

Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 05:17 PM by Richardo
"Gonna build a mountain....in my living room." :D

That's all I remember from the short. But it still makes me laugh to this day.

23. Okay, you need a life as much as I do
(grin)

Yup.

That, and the "Beep beep boop boop bwaaaaaaaap" play on the "musical language" - where the humans do the "theme song", and then the "pie" breaks out into a jazz (?) song . . .

You know, there has to be a copy of this somewhere.

The pie is out there, Scully . . .
